Alright guys. As you can tell, I dont know a whole lot about the wiring of this car. And Im trying to figure some of the basics out. So... Ive got ALOT of questions. So I figured instead of asking 200 questions on 200 threads I would ask in one thread. SO, I'm going to ask all of my questions here from now on.

Im trying to re-enable the courtesy lights, From the P71's modifier guide, I should just be able to unplug the battery, remove the jumper under the dash (A 2 wire jumper) and plug the battery back in and the lights work. Well... didnt happen. Using the light wheel and turning it to the dome light still doesn't light the lights. Fixed. No Lightbulb?

And am I correct that with this enabled I should have functionality back in the red door lights and the roof light should turn on when the door is opened?

Also, there's 2 plugs that are just sitting in the plastic molding in the dash and red and white female plug if I remember correctly. Are they supposed to be plugged into something? What are they for?

I got the rear door window switches and the horn working again, but besides that Ive hit a dead end.

If yours ahs the Police package, theres a wig wag module on the right front fender. The left headlight goes through it. Connect the light green/black wire around it and it shuld work. As for the interior lights, I believe they have to be programed by the dealer. I don't remember on them. The older cars had the blue connector under the glove gox that had to be disconnected as you mentioned. The wire color for the lights themselves is light green/orange.

Bert, thank you. Alright yes im pretty sure it has the police package. I took a bunch of photos cause im not sure what to do. As for the light issue. Its actually a jumper under the steering column. My problem was I didn't have a light bulb in the lamp.

So Ive taken a bunch of pictures so I can try to identify the no longer needed wires and try to figure some of this stuff out. Im going to post what I think they are or what they need to be.

Where the wig wag-er was?

Ground, Power and Magic? Where or what did thees go to?

Ok, I think this all goes to the trunk? Mostly strobe stuff? Am I correct? anyone know what ones of these can be disconnected and removed?

White connector that goes.... somewhere it gets tucked behind a bracket at some point.

Ok, I think the black plug is the headlight harness? The red one? No Idea.

Those are almost all for Police equipment. The red ones in fron are for the SRS crash sensor and all Crown Vics have them. They always ran wires that we could use for whatever we needed without having to punc through the firewall. Your last picture is for the siren.

Bert, Thank you again. Like I said earlier, I got the dome light issue fixed. But im still having the headlight issue. Thats why I posted the pics. Trying to figure out the "jumper" That I need to change.

So sitting at the drive in this past weekend, my feet on the floor, I adjust myself to get a little more comfortable and put my foot on a squishy part of the floor. So I press this squishy part and notice a click when ever I press it.

Curious, I pull back the floor (gotta love that plastic floor) and what do I see. A black foot pump. I trace the pump up under the dash and find a "tremco" labled box with a on/off switch. So I leave this alone for the movie and research it at intermission. So I find its a security system. So I flip the switch to "on" and try to shift into drive. No change, the system refuses to activate.

The wires run up the column to what I assume is the shiftier indicator, and appear to be connected (I didn't take anything apart) but tugging them they didnt come out. So my question. Is there some trick to turning it back on?
